On March 23rd, the Reserve Bank of China suddenly changed the exchange rate of fiat currency and China Reserve Certificates from one to one to 100 legal currency for 77 yuan of China Reserve Certificates, and announced that it was officially abolished on the last day of March. The equivalent use regulations have kicked off the expulsion of legal currency.

The entire Shanghai stock market has been caught in a frenzy of using fiat currency to exchange for China Chushu Vouchers. If it is not exchangeable, prices will soar. After the Shanghai stock exchange has exchanged China Chuchu Vouchers, they are buying goods frantically. Obviously, everyone is very concerned about this. There is no confidence in the currency issued by the puppet government.

Foreign nationals in the public concession are also in panic. As the Ministry of Industry and Technology prohibits foreign rice from entering the concession, the price of rice in the black market reached 300 yuan per stone on the 14th and 600 yuan on the 15th, which was directly higher than the average price of rice. Nearly five times the price.

Chen Mingxiang set up a sumptuous banquet in Villa Mara, with pure French feast and Bordeaux red wine, to receive Riddle and Minside, the former British and American directors of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession.

As for their purpose in finding themselves, Chen Mingxiang knew it well, and it must be because of food to seek his own help.

According to the current situation, the quality of life of these British and American diaspora is not a problem, but a great threat to their survival!

Look at these well-dressed former administrative officials of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Their faces are very haggard, and their postures are a little rushed in the face of good wine and food. The usual gentlemanship is gone. From this detail, we can see that their lives are very difficult.

The Ministry of Industry and Engineering in the concession was forcibly occupied by the Japanese army. These so-called directors became the backbone of thousands of expatriates in the public concession. They have the responsibility to seek assistance for the expatriates of the country and help them survive.

"Mr. Chen, you have helped us a lot. It is really helpless to ask you to extend a helping hand again. When the Japanese army first occupied the concession, they also sold some cheap rice to the British and American expatriates. But now, from the weekly Five days of sales have dropped to three days of sales per week!"

"Many families have encountered insurmountable difficulties in their survival. We applied to the Japanese Army’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce for food assistance, but they were rejected. Their reply was that the entire Shanghai stock market is very tight and cannot afford special care. ."

"We have also found a lot of previous relationships, but they all said that they are hard to protect themselves. It seems that in the Shanghai stock market, only you are our true friends." Riddle said with a wry smile.

These words are true. According to the standards of the Japanese army, many families buy rice that is not enough to support the minimum demand.

One person is only allowed to buy five liters of rice a week. You can go to the rice store on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and stop selling on Wednesday and Sunday. About 0.7 liters of rice per day, one catty of rice Weight.

Oh, this refers to the cheap rice that sells for a piece of six per liter, that is, rice that costs one hundred and sixty yuan a stone. By the way, children under the age of fourteen are not eligible to buy rice.

This number can barely survive. Those families with many children are definitely not enough, but the Japanese army changed the sales time to three days, and all people were not enough to maintain the most basic guarantee of survival.

Why are you so cute?

Chen Mingxiang was also a bit stunned. Britain and the United States are now belligerents with Japan, and you have become citizens of hostile countries. Japan has not slaughtered you. It is already a special favor!

"I do have channels to bring some food from outside, but I can’t solve this problem. First, I don’t have much food, and second, I have to supply the military police headquarters and the marine corps headquarters. Little, there are more than 7,000 British and American expatriates in the Shanghai stock market. I am powerless!" Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.

He doesn’t mind helping these British and American expats, but the problem is that more than 7,000 people are counted in round numbers. If you add a catty of rice a day, that is also 7,000 catties, more than 70 stones of grain, and more than 2,000 stones a month. Transportation is also a big problem!

What's more, in the eyes of the Japanese army, this is a crime against the wind. Although it may not be what happened to him because of this trivial matter, it is finally a bad impression, which will interfere with his latent mission.

"You don’t need so much. Young people can bear it and save a little food, mainly the elderly, women and children. The number will not exceed 2,000. According to 0.3 liters of rice per person per day, it is about five taels. That's enough, a thousand catties of rice." Mingside said.

"One thousand catties a day, 30,000 catties a month, 15 tons of rice, the amount is not a lot, but the problem is that the delivery process will be troublesome. If the Japanese army knew this news, it would cause me a lot. Is dangerous." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Mr. Chen, you also know that this number is really small and not worth much. With your status in the Japanese army, it is just a small matter. Of course, we will be responsible for the cost of management. You are at a disadvantage," Riddle said.

Even if a catty of rice is based on the current market, it is five yuan, which is still the black market price, 30,000 catties and 150,000, which is really not a lot. For the military police command and the marine corps command, that It's not worth mentioning.

This is often the case. Serious investigations are made. No matter how much rice is imported into the concession, it is a violation of the Japanese military ban, but if you ignore it, it will not be a problem.

"Well, let me give it a try. The figures on the surface for the Japanese army are 10,000 catties of rice and 10,000 catties of corn, which is cornmeal. This is easier to accept. You collect some valuables. I just ask the upper level to post a sentence. Open one eye and close one eye." Chen Mingxiang said.

The relationship between the two sides has developed to this point, and you can only bite the bullet and do things well. Don't underestimate the food problem. He may be more grateful than he has kept the valuables.

When people taste the taste of hunger, as long as they can live, that is the ultimate goal. For Chen Mingxiang, who gives a helping hand, it is equivalent to a lifesaver.

"Group leader, this time we finally saw his true face on the line!" said the agent sitting in the car.

"Remember what he looks like, this is very important information. We followed him quietly and waited until the contact point was near to summon people to round up the people inside." Ichikawa said.

Su Chengsheng notified Special Class I to follow up and monitor his spies, saying that he was about to start connecting with the line. Nan Zao Yunzi was very concerned about this matter, and directly sent the operation team leader Ichikawa to lead the team to lie in ambush around Su Chengsheng’s residence. The observation of the distance is to find this online and contact point.

Sure enough, a young man with a very ordinary dress came to Su Chengsheng's house the next day and left after only three minutes. He was holding a basket of fruits and looked very sophisticated.
